Chapter 425 Alchemy Competition 0.5
If looks could kill, then Senior Brother Anqi would probably be riddled with holes by now.
In the hearts of the Medicine King Valley disciples, An Qi directly surpassed Cheng Jiu, becoming the most disliked person in their hearts, with Cheng Jiu being the second most disliked.
Cheng Jiu felt the gazes shooting towards Senior Brother An Qi from all directions, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. She was grateful to Senior Brother An Qi, otherwise she would be the one enjoying all of this.
Cheng Jiu looked at the number he had drawn. The second match was good. If he finished early, he could go and watch the other matches.
Cheng Jiu stepped onto the stage and met his opponent's wary eyes, leaving Cheng Jiu helpless.
She's really not scary; it was an accident last time, really.
Cheng Jiu's opponent in this round is a pretty, curly-haired girl whose gender is hard to discern at first glance?!
His hair was neatly tied up and rolled into a ball, but the most eye-catching feature was the wisp of curly hair on his forehead that looked particularly bouncy.
Beneath her curly hair were deep, clear eyes, and she exuded an aura of pure innocence.
Of course, the other party is not as harmless as they appear, having managed to get this far.
Cheng Jiu couldn't recall the details of the previous match, only that the opponent's previous opponent also thought this person was an easy target and even lost. He and the surrounding audience still thought so.
This would be quite terrifying to sensitive people, who would understand that the other party was the winner and the weaker party should be the loser. However, the result of the competition did not change the impression people around him had of him.
In this situation, either the other party is extremely good at disguising themselves and has superb skills in manipulating their opponents, or the other party themselves carries an evil aura, which makes a deep first impression on others.
If Cheng Jiu were to pay attention to her surroundings now, she would realize that her current situation is very similar to that of her opponent's previous one.
No one would think that a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, a high-ranking disciple of Immortal Lord Qingxu, could be defeated by a seemingly harmless and frail fellow.
"Please give me your guidance." The other person's voice was also clear and harmless.
Cheng Jiu's ears were a little itchy. He wanted to listen more, but the other person had already stopped talking. For some reason, Cheng Jiu felt a sense of loss.
Before I knew it, the other party had already started refining the pills.
She was about to start refining pills. Cheng Jiu took out the spiritual herbs she had prepared in advance from her ring. Fortunately, she had prepared them a day in advance, so she wouldn't fall behind.
Yingyue gripped the arm of her senior brother beside her nervously, her voice filled with worry: "Senior brother, what happened to Junior Sister Cheng Jiu?"
The reason is that Cheng Jiu's current state appears incongruous and strange to those who know her well.
It was so quiet, as if the soul had been shot away, leaving only an empty shell, without any fluctuations.
She believed in Junior Sister Cheng Jiu's abilities, but could she really refine pills in this state?
An Qi was a seasoned veteran in the alchemy arena, far more experienced than his younger, inexperienced junior brothers and sisters. He could spot the problem at a glance.
"Junior Sister Cheng Jiu still suffered from a lack of experience!" An Qi sighed.
"What exactly happened? Senior Brother, tell me quickly!" Yingyue asked impatiently.
"There is a secret technique called 'Word Slave,' in which the practitioner can use words to manipulate others and bewitch their minds."
This technique is quite common in Mobo Mountain. The one who created this secret method was Master Bodu, the master of Mobo Mountain. The person on the stage must be his direct disciple.
It seems that Junior Sister Cheng Jiu was targeted from the moment she stepped onto the stage, and the longer it goes on, the harder it will be for her to escape.
Anqi learned about this secret method after suffering a loss while traveling in Mobo Mountain when he was young.
Completely unaware, Yan Nu's plot was silent and impossible to defend against.
Cheng Jiu was caught completely off guard and fell into a trap.
"Then, what should we do? Senior brother, don't you have a way to break through?" Yingyue was anxious and paced around. Sure enough, none of those who had made it this far were easy to deal with.
Having been through this myself, An Qi shook his head when Yingyue asked him anxiously, "Unless you're prepared from the start."
He didn't know what to do. After all, he had been a loser once, and he never wanted to experience that feeling of losing control again.
Cheng Jiu felt very unwell, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. Her head ached terribly, and the elixir she was holding seemed illusory.
Cheng Jiu clearly knew something was wrong, but it was as if he was trapped in a Möbius strip, unable to escape it.
boom!
A huge burst of flames erupted in front of him, and Cheng Jiu was caught off guard and sprayed in the face.
Thanks to his strong physical abilities, Cheng Jiu was not injured, and his clothes, made of an extraordinary material, were also undamaged.
Only the medicinal herbs in Cheng Jiu's hands were evaporated by the powerful force.
Cheng Jiu looked around blankly, feeling empty inside. A strange sense of familiarity reminded him of the polar regions.
She seemed to have had a similar experience before.
Sitting opposite him, Mo Shanbo looked at Cheng Jiu's bewildered expression. He hadn't expected Cheng Jiu to react so strongly.
Could it be that he used too much verbal provocation?
However, Cheng Jiu had experienced a spiritual baptism that surpassed the strength of the Mahayana realm. Although the effects were not visible at the time, there were still aftereffects.
Cheng Jiu's mental power became extremely sensitive, and he was very perceptive to any slight movement, not to mention his strong mental control that directly targeted divine sense.
Cheng Jiu's abnormal reaction was noticed by the well-informed Immortal Lord Qingxu, and he was also aware of Yan Nu, but he didn't care.
Even if Cheng Jiu loses, it's nothing. Consider it a lesson learned, and he'll be more vigilant in the future.
Moreover, Qingxu Immortal Lord is already very satisfied with Cheng Jiu's achievements in getting this far.
As for those empty titles, what need does his pure and virtuous disciple have for empty titles?
But Cheng Jiu's reaction now is very clear: he was attacked by divine sense before, so the opponent's strength is definitely not weak.
A powerful expert actually bullied a mere disciple in the Nascent Soul stage like this.
Although he rarely inquired about his apprentices' training, this kind of bullying with strength was unacceptable!
Immortal Lord Qingxu unconsciously stroked the Qingxu Sword in his arms. He was certain of one thing: his little disciple's return from the large-scale inheritance she had mentioned had not yet occurred. In the meantime...
Immortal Lord Qingxu suddenly focused his mind on one place: the polar regions!
When it comes to attacks using spiritual senses, no one can compare to that fox.
Immortal Lord Qingyang noticed the killing intent emanating from his friend beside him. Who was this unlucky fellow who had aroused such murderous intent in his friend who was cultivating his mind and body?
He glanced at Cheng Jiu's strange expression below the stage and realized that the guy was about to be in big trouble.
What's the point of bullying a child in the Nascent Soul stage? Is that fun?
It's also because Cheng Jiu is too young. Among those old monsters above the Mahayana Realm, Cheng Jiu's age is probably not even a fraction of theirs. In the eyes of the two Immortal Lords, this is blatant bullying of a child. Do they really think the child has no one to back him up?
Cheng Jiu ignored the exploding alchemy furnace and the discarded spiritual herbs, and turned around to gag.
Their appearance was so pitiful that even Mo Shanbo felt a pang of pity.
Immortal Lord Qingxu suddenly stood up and prepared to call a halt to the match in front of the referee on the arena.
Cheng Jiu's current situation is really terrible, I don't know if he can survive the next competition!
"Junior sister." Senior Sister Yingyue's eyes welled up with tears of heartache. She rarely saw Cheng Jiu in such a disheveled state.
Although An Qi couldn't see through Cheng Jiu's problem like the other immortal lords, he also sensed something was wrong. He had also been affected before, but he didn't react as strongly as his junior sister Cheng Jiu.
